Linux CLI Wallet and Staking Setup - Pulsar-Coin/Pulsar-Coin-Cryptocurrency GitHub Wiki

1. Download the latest Pulsar Linux release and extract:

wget https://github.com/PulsarCoin/Pulsar-Coin-Cryptocurrency/releases/download/v1.1.6/Pulsar-1.1.6.2-x86_64-linux.tar.gz
tar xvf Pulsar-1.1.6.2-x86_64-linux.tar.gz

2. Run pulsard in the background as a server to start syncing the blockchain:

./pulsard --server --daemon

3. View your default wallet address, or generate a new receiving address:

./pulsar-cli getaccountaddress ""

or

./pulsar-cli getnewaddress "LABEL"

Note: Copy or write down this address for later, you will use it to receive PLSR from mining or exchanges.

4. Optional but recommended, encrypt your wallet with a passphrase:

./pulsar-cli encryptwallet "YOUR PASSPHRASE HERE"

5. After encrypting your wallet pulsard is stopped, simply re-run the command from step 2 to restart it:

./pulsard --daemon --server

6. You can unlock your wallet for staking only with the following command:

./pulsar-cli walletpassphrase "YOUR PASSPHRASE HERE" 96000000 true

7. You can view the status of your wallet with this command:

./pulsar-cli getwalletinfo

{
  "walletname": "wallet.dat",
  "walletversion": 159900,
